This includes for ordination, community work, youth and children's work and world mission. Courses can be full-time or part-time, leading to a Certificate or Diploma in Higher Education or a Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Theology.

Dr Ovey succeeded New Testament Scholar, Revd Professor David Peterson at the start of the 2007–2008 academic year.
